What is recorded here

East Forthar stands in Fife as a medieval tower house, its stones retaining the shape of hands that built it for height and defence. It is the kind of place where distance measured in leagues became inches inside a room, where arrow slits narrowed the world to a line of sky. Whether it guarded a road, a coast or a family pride, the structure still answers that question with shape rather than speech.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records East Forthar as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
